I've tested also the latest kernel, and it also affetcs it.
By the way, the bug happens only with GIGABIT NETWORKS and with MEGABIT
CABLE

Title:
r8169 kernel module problem
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm in trouble with my notebook Acer Aspire E5-571G and its realtek ethernet
controller using the kernel module r8169, particularly at school when I'm
connecting with my Ethernet cable to its network. It just basically doesn't see
my cable, like it is disconnected, this problem came after I've changed it. And
I've find on the net how to fix it using ethtool `ethtool -s enp1s0f1 autoneg
off speed 100 duplex full`
Maybe this cable is maximum 100Mbps capable and the driver can't manage how
to get it working with a gigabit network, since with other (Gigabit) better
cables I don't have this problem. Also I don't have problems in Windows or
with other computers using the same cable. (Windows connection speed with this
cable is 100mbit) I've tried also with a different computer using the same
kernel driver with the same LAN chip and the same problem happened. Since the
realtek r8168 works flawlessly but it disconnects randomly I prefer using the
one provided by the linux kernel.
Using Ubuntu 4.2.0-29.34-generic 4.2.8-ckt3 Linux kernel.
Ubuntu 15.10 Wily
The network should be working with any cable
Seems like linux does not detect the 100Mbit cable on a 1000Mbit network,
don't know if on a 100mbit network it has the same problem.
